Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To evaluate and compare the time taken and ease of removal of Blockbuster LMA versus Air-Q Intubating Laryngeal AirwayTimepoint: 2 minutes	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1.To assess and compare the insertion characteristics of SGAD in terms of time taken for insertion of device, number of attempts and the ease of insertion between Blockbuster LMA versus Air-Q Intubating Laryngeal Airway. 2.To assess and compare Fibre optic Bronchoscopy grading of glottis between Blockbuster LMA versus Air-Q Intubating Laryngeal Airway. 3.To assess and compare the time taken and the number of attempts for successful fibreoptic intubation between Blockbuster LMA versus Air-Q Intubating Laryngeal Airway. 4.To assess the incidence of adverse events related to the removal of supraglottic airway device between Air-Q Intubating Laryngeal Airway versus Blockbuster LMATimepoint: 2 minutes	—
